Summary: "Among the most popular and enduring children's books of the first half of the twentieth century, Anne of Green Gables tells the story of an endearingly talkative and precocious 11-year-old orphan who comes to live on the farm of an elderly brother and sister on Prince Edward Island. Red-haired and irrepressible, Anne causes a major disruption in the quite lives of Matthew and Marilla Cuthburt, the people who take her in, but her honesty, intelligence, and good heart soon make her the light of their lives and the object of great affection in the community. Newly abridged and enhanced with six new illustrations, this warm and nostalgic tale will enchant readers today as it has since its first publication in 1908"

Hannah's Review: I like this book because it's funny how much she loves "puff" sleeves.  My favorite part of the book was when Anne died her hair green.

I would recommend this book to any girl who likes funny stories and adventures.  I'm excited to read the real Anne of Green Gables series when I get older.
